Cell Phones Hurt Children Even Worse Than Adults
A British newspaper, the Mirror, reported on “What Cell Phones Can Do To Youngster’s Brain In 2 Minutes”. (Sunday Mirror April 1, 2004). Are radiations dangerous to the human body and are the effects even more to children? The mobile phone is a risk to children.

It turns out that a call lasting just two minutes can open the “blood-brain barrier” in kids as well as adults, allowing toxins in the bloodstream to cross this blood vessel gateway into the skull and attack brain cells. The same two-minutes cell phone exposure also disrupts the natural electrical activity of a child’s brain for up to an hour afterwards.
Dr Gerald Hyland (Scientist at the British Warwick University) says he is “extremely disturbed” by the new findings released in Marbella, Spain by the Spanish Neuro Diagnostic Research Institute.
“The results show that children’s brains are affected for long periods even after very short-term use.” This mobile phone adviser to the British government explained. “Their brain wave patterns are abnormal and stay like that for a long period. This could affect their mood and ability to learn in the classroom if they have been using a phone during break time, for instance.”

Dr. Hyland and other medical Doctor’s worry that a cell phone’s deep penetration into children’s brains and the resulting disruption to the subtle electronic exchanges between brain cells could cause kids to lose the ability to concentration and remember, making it impossible to learn.
Dr. Hyland also states that cell phone use is also linked with aggressive behaviour in children. “Doctors fear that disturbed brain activity in children could lead to psychiatric and behavioral problems or impair learning ability.
